    I’ve been loving my Kindle and wasn’t sure if I wanted to switch from paperback, I’m happy I switched. It’s a lot easier to travel too!

    Only problem is yellow corner on bottom left of the kindle, and for that just adjust warm light setting and brightness, overall the best device to study on.

      Hello JessicaS! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new Paperwhite! Sometimes you can experience ghosting like this on eInk devices such as Kindles but it should only be temporary. And like you mentioned, one way to resolve this is to change how often your page is refreshing. Typically, if you have it set to refresh more often, this ghosting image will disappear upon page turns where you see the screen turn black and then come back to normal briefly. If it is not doing this, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting and to explore your options. I thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with your Paperwhite and I hope that you have an amazing day! AmazonDevices

    Love my new Kindle! It works great and makes reading a whole lot easier! It’s small enough to fit in my purse and read on the go! I love how there are no notifications or anything on it to distract you from reading.

    I swore to myself I would never get a kindle, but after my husband said we didn’t have room for a home library, I decided to get one anyways (in kindle form). It has made reading so easy AND I am getting to read books from my TBR list and books I never even knew I needed to read. I am OBSESSED with my new kindle and I can’t believe it took me this long.

    I haven’t used it as much as I’d like and I will probably be jailbreaking it because screw Amazon and Jeff Bezos.

    If you have the previous generation, keep it! Absolutely horrible and glitchy and only fast if you don't have to download anything! Put on a charger for over 6 hours and still didn't get a full charge. Only had it off the charger for an hour and it's at 88% horrible! Save your money!
